Apparently at the same time as Japan ruled Taiwan, Shinto was simultaneously being introduced. Taiwanese however did not follow Shintoism. To them a shrine had a political reason rather than a religious one. Due to that fact the concept of a shrine being a locum for the Gods was not progressing well. The concept lacked strength anyway, because Taiwanese followed their own traditional religion anyway. The historical experience is different and there are also considerable differences as to the opinion of the architectural style during the Japanese regime. The perspective of the controversy of Tsutomu Shrine as presented in this essay suggests that colonial cultural assets are still under the development. The promotion of a cultural property protection only suggested from the legal aspect isn't sufficient. In the future a new approach incorporating the education and research is likely to be necessary.
